FNQ school closures

In the interests of student, staff and community safety, a number of state schools across the Ingham area and surrounding low lying areas will be closed tomorrow, Friday March 9, due to major widespread flooding.

As of 10pm Thursday the following centres will be closed for Friday:

Abergowrie SS

Forrest Beach SS

Halifax SS

Ingham SS

Ingham SHS

Macknade SS

Mount Fox SS

Paluma Environmental Education Centre

Toobanna SS

The three state schools in the Tully area that were closed, Thursday March 8, will also remain closed for Friday.

Murray River Upper SS

There is currently a widespread Flood Watch for significant parts of north Queensland due to the effects of the current weather system.

Parents should check local weather conditions and road access, and place their safety — and that of their children — above all else. It is important to remember that If it’s Flooded – Forget it!

We urge parents to continue checking the Department’s School Closures website for the most up-to-date information about the status of schools in affected areas as the situation is subject to change.
